from my time as a new player my initial impressions were
posiden were a bunch of dicks and trolls - sorry guys but srsly what else am i to think when fresh on the server im chased down in a heli you guys hop out the heli initiate on my tie me up take me to the top of a crane talking all kinds of crazy shit about experiments and drop me off it, i stuck around long enough to know that was a few bad apples who were making you look bad but still something you need to work on.
for the example given earlier maybe adopt the aproach of first time cases of say hobos running diamonds, you dump out there hemmts and excort them over the border with clear orders not to come back, this makes there first failire have less of a devastating sting to it cause if anything will demorilize a player more its grinding hard to get there first hemmt near or actually bankrupting themselves to get it, only to have some over keen posedon guy scrap there shit and leaving them bankrupted back to square one x hours leading upto this wasted which at that point many players will be making the decision if they must start over do they do it here or go elsewhere to invest there time.
police - dont bother reporting anything they just wont come police messages are rareley if ever answered any opportunity for roleplay that dosent involve me taking some kind of objective like a fuel station bank or federal or a town will most likley be ignored and if my shit were to ever be stolen then goodluck getting anything from the police.
however if you park your car wrong theyll get that shitimpounded/scrapped faster than you can blink sadley this bareley changed over time police are just a roving death squad that go from conflict to conflict as one unit and throw all there resources at problems leading to the rest of the island suffering as a whole .
i mean good job stopping that 1 guy from robbing a gas station by sending 10 armed officers but how does that help the fact that theres 3 stolen cop cars roaming kavala robbing players blind.
id like to say its a few bad eggs but sadley the police move as one unit and together make this bad.
things the police could look into you have pcso's they even have distinct uniforms there fairly new and limited anyways in there abilities use them for community outreach put a couple in kavala and have them help hobos and deal with less pressing matters when able.
the irony is rebels arnt held to any form of a standard but somehow end up coming out on top in terms of new player experience the guy who robbed me yesterday is frequently the guy whos helping me the next and even in situations where a rebel is robbing me ive had them give freindly advice to help me prevent this the next time be it get a gun or dont run X during Y go for something less risky
however for those who arnt already doing it if your going to rob a new player maybe go easy on them if your able if your gonna take there diamonds leave them there hemmt so they can recover from there failiure or at the verry least offer them advice to help them in future
then theres the server in general this was perhaps the hardest thing for me the rules can at times be confusing and trecherous to navigate just based on sheer length and number of rules alone and thats before even trying to interprate the rules i apreciate why the staff might be reluctant to give concrete examples of whats ok and not ok but some rules seem vague in nature and make trying to enjoy the game harder because your stressed and worried am i breaking a rule
a example is poor/low quality rp as a new player that rule was verry vague you can say put your hands up or youll be shot but no mention is made as to what is acceoptable or what the standard is that this rule attempts to fix
am i supposed to engage in some elaborate over acted scenario? or am i just being asked to not do 5 word robberies and what standard do we all agree on because if my definition doesent match yours will i end up being reported? if so then whats the standard from staffs point of view do staff even have a standard or is it luck of the drawer
again i apreciate why you dont want to be black and white but the closest ive seen to explanations is a forum post that again just states the rule and doesent set a standard to work from whilst trying to maintain a undefined standard
i dont want to leave the nhs out as it seems biased if i do but being a non combative faction its hard for us to do much that negativley affect a new player much but theres small things we can do to atleast help them we often deal with the aftermath of other factions interactions with new players so perhaps we can do more to help guide them advise they get a handgun or show them where they can get defibs or bloodbags or stretchers to help get themselves out of trouble when it does go bad were with them for atleast 5 mins so the times there for us to help educate them i suppose waiting times can suck and we cant always be there to revive but were working hard to change that with what little man power we have
im not taking a direct dig at anyone here i know it may seem that way but as a new player that was my initial impressions coming onto the server 2 months ago
